Representative sensors among various sensors that may be included in the sensing unit 140 will be described in more detail.

First, the proximity sensor 141 refers to a sensor that detects the presence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface, or the presence of an object in the vicinity of the detection surface, without mechanical contact by using electromagnetic force or infrared rays. The proximity sensor 141 may be disposed in the inner area of the mobile terminal or in proximity to the touch screen, which is covered by the touch screen.

Examples of the proximity sensor 141 include a transmission type photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection type photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection type photoelectric sensor, a high frequency oscillation type proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared proximity sensor. In the case where the touch screen is electrostatic, the proximity sensor 141 can be configured to detect the proximity of the object with a change of the electric field along the proximity of the object having conductivity. In this case, the touch screen (or touch sensor) itself may be classified as a proximity sensor.

On the other hand, for convenience of explanation, the act of recognizing that the object is located on the touch screen in proximity with no object touching the touch screen is referred to as "proximity touch & The act of actually touching an object on the screen is called a "contact touch. &Quot; The position at which the object is closely touched on the touch screen means a position where the object corresponds to the touch screen vertically when the object is touched. The proximity sensor 141 can detect a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (e.g., a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, have. Meanwhile, the control unit 180 processes data (or information) corresponding to the proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern sensed through the proximity sensor 141 as described above, and further provides visual information corresponding to the processed data It can be output on the touch screen. Furthermore, the control unit 180 can control the mobile terminal 100 such that different operations or data (or information) are processed according to whether the touch to the same point on the touch screen is a proximity touch or a touch touch .

The touch sensor senses a touch (or touch input) applied to the touch screen (or the display unit 151) by using at least one of various touch methods such as a resistance film type, a capacitive type, an infrared type, an ultrasonic type, do.

For example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in a pressure applied to a specific portion of the touch screen or a capacitance generated in a specific portion to an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect a position, an area, a pressure at the time of touch, a capacitance at the time of touch, and the like where a touch object touching the touch screen is touched on the touch sensor. Here, the touch object may be a finger, a touch pen, a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like as an object to which a touch is applied to the touch sensor.

Thus, when there is a touch input to the touch sensor, the corresponding signal (s) is sent to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal (s) and transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. Thus, the control unit 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched or the like. Here, the touch controller may be a separate component from the control unit 180, and may be the control unit 180 itself.

On the other hand, the control unit 180 may perform different controls or perform the same control according to the type of the touch object touching the touch screen (or a touch key provided on the touch screen). Whether to perform different controls or to perform the same control according to the type of the touch object may be determined according to the current state of the mobile terminal 100 or an application program being executed.

On the other hand, the touch sensors and the proximity sensors discussed above can be used independently or in combination to provide a short touch (touch), a long touch, a multi touch, a drag touch ), Flick touch, pinch-in touch, pinch-out touch, swipe touch, hovering touch, and the like. Touch can be sensed.

The ultrasonic sensor can recognize the position information of the object to be sensed by using ultrasonic waves. Meanwhile, the controller 180 can calculate the position of the wave generating source through the information sensed by the optical sensor and the plurality of ultrasonic sensors. The position of the wave source can be calculated using the fact that the light is much faster than the ultrasonic wave, that is, the time when the light reaches the optical sensor is much faster than the time the ultrasonic wave reaches the ultrasonic sensor. More specifically, the position of the wave generating source can be calculated using the time difference with the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the reference signal.

The camera 121 includes at least one of a camera sensor (for example, a CCD, a CMOS, etc.), a photo sensor (or an image sensor), and a laser sensor.

The camera 121 and the laser sensor may be combined with each other to sense a touch of the sensing object with respect to the three-dimensional stereoscopic image. The photosensor can be laminated to the display element, which is adapted to scan the movement of the object to be detected proximate to the touch screen. More specifically, the photosensor mounts photo diodes and TRs (Transistors) in a row / column and scans the contents loaded on the photosensor using an electrical signal that varies according to the amount of light applied to the photo diode. That is, the photo sensor performs coordinate calculation of the object to be sensed according to the amount of change of light, and position information of the object to be sensed can be obtained through the calculation.

The display unit 151 displays (outputs) information processed by the mobile terminal 100. For example, the display unit 151 may display execution screen information of an application program driven by the mobile terminal 100 or UI (User Interface) and GUI (Graphic User Interface) information according to the execution screen information .

In addition, the display unit 151 may be configured as a stereoscopic display unit for displaying a stereoscopic image.

A top-down method of arranging a left image and a right image in one frame according to a method in which a left image and a right image are combined into a three-dimensional stereoscopic image, A checker board system in which pieces of a left image and a right image are arranged in a tile form, a left-to-right (right-side) Or an interlaced method in which rows are alternately arranged, and a time sequential (frame-by-frame) method in which right and left images are alternately displayed in time.

In addition, the 3D thumbnail image may generate a left image thumbnail and a right image thumbnail from the left image and right image of the original image frame, respectively, and may be generated as one image as they are combined. In general, a thumbnail means a reduced image or a reduced still image. The left image thumbnail and the right image thumbnail generated in this way are displayed on the screen with a difference of the left and right distance by the depth corresponding to the parallax between the left image and the right image, thereby exhibiting a stereoscopic spatial feeling.

The left and right images necessary for realizing the three-dimensional stereoscopic image can be displayed on the stereoscopic display unit by the stereoscopic processing unit. The stereoscopic processing unit receives a 3D image (an image at a reference time point and an image at an expansion point), sets a left image and a right image therefrom, or receives a 2D image and converts it into a left image and a right image.

In this case, one BSC and at least one BS can be summed together. The base station may also indicate a "cell site ". Alternatively, each of the plurality of sectors for a particular BS may be referred to as a plurality of cell sites.

A broadcast transmission unit (BT) transmits a broadcast signal to terminals 100 operating in the system. The broadcast receiving module 111 shown in FIG. 1A is provided in the terminal 100 to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by the BT.

In addition, a Global Positioning System (GPS) may be associated with the CDMA wireless communication system to identify the location of the mobile terminal 100. The satellite 300 aids in locating the mobile terminal 100. Useful location information may be obtained by two or more satellites. Here, the position of the mobile terminal 100 can be tracked using all the techniques capable of tracking the location as well as the GPS tracking technology. Also, at least one of the GPS satellites may optionally or additionally be responsible for satellite DMB transmission.

The location information module 115 included in the mobile terminal is for detecting, computing, or identifying the location of the mobile terminal, and may include a Global Position System (GPS) module and a WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) module. Optionally, the location information module 115 may perform any of the other functions of the wireless communication unit 110 to obtain data relating to the location of the mobile terminal, in addition or alternatively.

The GPS module 115 calculates distance information and accurate time information from three or more satellites and then applies trigonometry to the calculated information to accurately calculate three-dimensional current location information according to latitude, longitude, and altitude can do. At present, a method of calculating position and time information using three satellites and correcting an error of the calculated position and time information using another satellite is widely used. In addition, the GPS module 115 can calculate speed information by continuously calculating the current position in real time. However, it is difficult to accurately measure the position of the mobile terminal by using the GPS module in the shadow area of the satellite signal as in the room. Accordingly, a WPS (WiFi Positioning System) can be utilized to compensate the positioning of the GPS system.

The WiFi Positioning System (WPS) is a system in which a mobile terminal 100 uses a WiFi module included in the mobile terminal 100 and a wireless AP (wireless access point) transmitting or receiving a wireless signal with the WiFi module, Is a technology for tracking a location of a wireless local area network (WLAN) using WiFi.

The WiFi location tracking system may include a Wi-Fi location server, a mobile terminal 100, a wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100, and a database in which certain wireless AP information is stored.

The mobile terminal 100 connected to the wireless AP can transmit a location information request message to the Wi-Fi location server.

The Wi-Fi position location server extracts information of the wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100 based on the location information request message (or signal) of the mobile terminal 100. The information of the wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100 may be transmitted to the Wi-Fi location server through the mobile terminal 100 or may be transmitted from the wireless AP to the Wi-Fi location server.

The information of the wireless AP to be extracted based on the location information request message of the mobile terminal 100 includes a MAC address, an SSID (Service Set IDentification), a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) Reference Signal Received Quality), channel information, Privacy, Network Type, Signal Strength, and Noise Strength.

As described above, the Wi-Fi position location server can receive the information of the wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100 and extract the wireless AP information corresponding to the wireless AP to which the mobile terminal is connected from the pre-established database. In this case, the information of any wireless APs stored in the database includes at least one of MAC address, SSID, channel information, privacy, network type, radius coordinates of the wireless AP, building name, Available), the address of the AP owner, telephone number, and the like. At this time, in order to remove the wireless AP provided using the mobile AP or the illegal MAC address in the positioning process, the Wi-Fi location server may extract only a predetermined number of wireless AP information in order of RSSI.

Then, the Wi-Fi location server can extract (or analyze) the location information of the mobile terminal 100 using at least one wireless AP information extracted from the database. And compares the received information with the received wireless AP information to extract (or analyze) the location information of the mobile terminal 100.

As a method for extracting (or analyzing) the position information of the mobile terminal 100, a Cell-ID method, a fingerprint method, a triangulation method, and a landmark method can be utilized.

The Cell-ID method is a method of determining the position of the mobile station with the strongest signal strength among neighboring wireless AP information collected by the mobile terminal. Although the implementation is simple, it does not cost extra and it can acquire location information quickly, but there is a disadvantage that positioning accuracy is lowered when the installation density of the wireless AP is low.

The fingerprint method collects signal strength information by selecting a reference position in a service area, and estimates the position based on the signal strength information transmitted from the mobile terminal based on the collected information. In order to use the fingerprint method, it is necessary to previously convert the propagation characteristics into a database.

The triangulation method is a method of calculating the position of the mobile terminal based on the coordinates of at least three wireless APs and the distance between the mobile terminals. (Time of Arrival, ToA), Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) in which a signal is transmitted, and the time difference between the wireless AP and the wireless AP, in order to measure the distance between the mobile terminal and the wireless AP. , An angle at which a signal is transmitted (Angle of Arrival, AoA), or the like.

The landmark method is a method of measuring the position of a mobile terminal using a landmark transmitter that knows the location.

Various algorithms can be utilized as a method for extracting (or analyzing) the location information of the mobile terminal.

The extracted location information of the mobile terminal 100 is transmitted to the mobile terminal 100 through the Wi-Fi location server, so that the mobile terminal 100 can acquire the location information.

The mobile terminal 100 may be connected to at least one wireless AP to obtain location information. At this time, the number of wireless APs required to acquire the location information of the mobile terminal 100 may be variously changed according to the wireless communication environment in which the mobile terminal 100 is located.

As shown in FIG. 1A, a mobile terminal according to the present invention includes Bluetooth ™, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Infrared Data Association (IrDA), UWB (Ultra Wideband), ZigBee, NFC Field Communication), and Wireless USB (Wireless Universal Serial Bus).

Among them, the NFC module provided in the mobile terminal supports the non-contact type short-range wireless communication between the terminals at a distance of about 10 cm. The NFC module may operate in either a card mode, a reader mode, or a P2P mode. In order for the NFC module to operate in the card mode, the mobile terminal 100 may further include a security module for storing card information. Here, the security module may be a physical medium such as a UICC (e.g., a SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) or a USIM (Universal SIM)), a Secure micro SD and a sticker, or a logical medium For example, embeded SE (Secure Element)). Data exchange based on SWP (Single Wire Protocol) can be made between NFC module and security module.

When the NFC module is operated in the card mode, the mobile terminal can transmit the stored card information to the outside such as a conventional IC card. Specifically, if the mobile terminal storing the card information of the payment card such as a credit card or a bus card is brought close to the fare payment machine, the mobile local payment can be processed, and the mobile terminal storing the card information of the access card can be accessed If you are close to the time, the approval process for access may begin. Cards such as credit cards, transportation cards, and access cards are mounted on the security module in the form of an applet, and the security module can store card information on the mounted card. Here, the card information of the payment card may be at least one of a card number, balance, and usage details, and the card information of the access card may include at least one of a name, a number (e.g., It can be one.

When the NFC module is operated in the reader mode, the mobile terminal can read data from an external tag. At this time, the data received from the mobile terminal by the tag may be coded into a data exchange format (NFC Data Exchange Format) defined by the NFC Forum. In addition, the NFC Forum defines four record types. Specifically, the NFC forum defines four RTDs (Record Type Definitions) such as Smart Poster, Text, Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), and General Control. If the data received from the tag is a smart poster type, the control unit executes a browser (e.g., an Internet browser), and if the data received from the tag is a text type, the control unit can execute the text viewer. When the data received from the tag is a URI type, the control unit executes the browser or makes a telephone call, and if the data received from the tag is a general control type, it can execute appropriate operations according to the control contents.

When the NFC module is operated in a peer-to-peer (P2P) mode, the mobile terminal can perform P2P communication with another mobile terminal. At this time, LLCP (Logical Link Control Protocol) may be applied to P2P communication. For P2P communication, a connection can be created between the mobile terminal and another mobile terminal. At this time, the generated connection can be divided into a connectionless mode in which one packet is exchanged and terminated, and a connection-oriented mode in which packets are exchanged consecutively. Through P2P communications, data such as business cards, contact information, digital photos, URLs in electronic form, and setup parameters for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity can be exchanged. However, since the usable distance of NFC communication is short, the P2P mode can be effectively used to exchange small-sized data.

The present invention described above can be implemented as computer readable codes on a medium on which a program is recorded. The computer readable medium includes all kinds of recording devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer readable medium include a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state disk (SSD), a silicon disk drive (SDD), a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, , And may also be implemented in the form of a carrier wave (e.g., transmission over the Internet).

The screen information output from the display unit 151 includes various graphic objects, and in this case, the graphic object may be implemented in the form of an image, a text, and an icon.

According to the example, in the present example, text can be simply input while the home screen page is displayed on the display unit 151. [

Here, the home screen page may be referred to as an idle screen, and the home screen page may be output on the display unit 151 when the terminal is in a standby state. More specifically, an icon of an application installed on the mobile terminal, a folder where the icons are stored, or an icon of a widget may be displayed on the home screen page. Here, icons, folders, and the like are examples of the graphic object.

In this way, when a touch input is applied to the icon of the widget on the home screen page, the execution screen of the corresponding service is displayed so that the service can be immediately used without going through the web browser. In this case, the touch input can be performed by the pen unit.

2A, when the pen unit applies a touch input such as a short touch or a long touch to the icon 252a of the calendar widget, an execution screen 252b for inputting a schedule into the calendar is displayed on the display unit 151 do. As the widget is being executed, the execution screen 252b is a screen for switching the home screen page to occupy the display unit 151 as a whole. The user inputs desired contents to each item of the execution screen 252b and records a schedule on the calendar.

When the date (May 22), the time (3:00) and the title (patent meeting) are inputted (or stored after inputting), the icon 252a of the calendar widget displays the date, Is displayed.

In the present invention, in addition to the functions of FIG. 2A, a function of inputting contents easily without executing a widget in a terminal is presented. Referring to FIG. 2B, when the pen unit applies a touch input of a specific pattern to the icon 252a of the calendar widget, an input window 253 for receiving a user input is output. In this case, in order to receive the handwriting input through the input window, the display unit 151 can be handwritten through the touch input.

The particular pattern may be a circle gesture, and the first gesture of action may be set as desired by the user. After the circle gesture is set to a specific pattern, the user frees the screen by drawing a circle in the area where the user intends to input information on the screen, and the screen is switched to the inputable window.

More specifically, the icon 252a of the widget may be a calendar image in the form of a list view, and an indicator 252c informing the addition of a schedule to a part is output. When the touch input of the specific pattern is applied to the indicator 252c, an input window for adding the schedule is output. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is also possible that the input window is output even when the touch input of the specific pattern is applied to another part of the calendar image. In this case, the input window 253 maintains the output of at least a part of the screen information so that the user can identify the screen information.

In an exemplary concept, at least a portion of the screen information forms the background of the input window 253. More specifically, a screen shot of the home screen page output to the display unit is performed, and a memo can be directly recorded in the screen shot. Also, the screen shot may be a screen in which the screen information is frozen and the shade changes. The user can freely write desired information on the freeze screen using the pen unit.

As another concept, the home screen page of the display unit 151 can be switched to the handwriting mode (or execution of the quick memo application) by the output of the input window 253. In the handwriting mode, the input window 253 overlaps the screen information as a layer different from the screen information (home screen page in this example) before the input window 253 is executed, The window 253 has the same effect as writing on the screen information. That is, the transparent input window 253 of a new layer is popped up by the touch input of a specific pattern, and can be switched to the handwriting mode state (quick memo execution).

In this way, the control command for outputting the input window 253 can be performed by a separate hotkey, but in the present invention, the touch input of a specific pattern can serve as a hotkey without having a separate hotkey.

Next, the control unit processes the content input through the input window 253 in association with the graphic object. As an example, if a control command indicating the completion of the user input is applied in a state in which the input window is output, the input window disappears and the input content may be reflected in the graphic object.

More specifically, when the control command is input, the initial state (state in which the home screen page is output) is restored, and the contents input in the input window are displayed in the graphic object. For example, if the date (May 22), the time (3:00), and the title (patent meeting) are entered through the handwriting (or stored after input), the icon 252a of the calendar widget displays the date, The time and title are displayed. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the input item may be composed of only one of date, time, and title, or may be composed of other items such as a place.

The control command informing completion of the user input may be performed according to a specific pattern different from the specific pattern corresponding to the output command of the input window. As an example, the control command may be transmitted by tapping the display unit continuously.

As described above, the present invention provides a user interface that allows a user to easily perform a desired operation without executing a widget. Such a user interface can be applied not only to a widget but also to various functions of an application or a terminal.

In addition, the touch screen formed by the display unit 151 together with the touch sensor is formed to recognize the touch of the pen unit.

As an example, the terminal may process the touch input applied by the pen unit and the touch input applied by the finger separately. For example, in the case where the touch input of FIG. 2B is applied by a finger, an embodiment in which the input window is not output is also possible. However, in the following description, it is assumed that the same operation can be performed even if the finger is touched with no distinction.

Screen information is output to the display unit 151 (S100). The screen information may be a home screen page as described above, but may be a lock screen in a lock mode, an execution screen of a specific function, and an execution screen of an application, for example.

Next, the sensing unit senses a touch input of a specific pattern applied to the graphic object in the screen information. The sensing unit may be a touch sensor, and may be combined with the display unit to form a touch screen. As another example, the sensing unit may be another type of sensor capable of sensing a touch applied to the display unit, such as an ultrasonic sensor, an acceleration sensor, and a magnetic field sensor.

The specific pattern can be set by the user. As an example of this, the specific pattern may be set in a symbol form such as a pattern for drawing a circle, a triangle, a rectangle, a pattern for checkmarking, a pattern for X-marking, and the like. As another example, the specific pattern may be a pattern for writing text. For example, writing an alphabet such as "I" on a graphic object can be a specific pattern.

As another example, the specific pattern may be set differently according to each control command. More specifically, the pattern for input window output may be an input that the pen unit moves on a plane on which the screen information is output. That is, the specific pattern may be a pattern drawn on a plane (or an outer surface of a window covering a display element) on which the screen is output by the display unit. In addition, the pattern for termination or execution can be a tab tapping the display section.

The controller may output an input window for receiving a user input when the touch input of the specific pattern is applied. The input window can be input by the user throughout the entire display area, but other examples are possible. As another example, a separate window that can be input to a part of the display unit may be output. In this case, when a touch input of a pattern different from the specific pattern is applied to the graphic object, an application (or a widget, a function of the terminal) related to the graphic object can be executed. For example, when a short touch or a long touch is applied to the graphic object, the application (or widget, terminal function) is executed. When a gesture (or touch input) for drawing a circle is applied to the graphic object, .

In addition, whether or not the pen unit is executed can be determined depending on the point where the pen unit touches. As another example, different functions may be performed depending on the point at which the touch is applied.

As another example, the input window may be a virtual input window. The virtual input window means an area in which a control command can be input to the terminal at an area outside the terminal. The pen unit may be configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal to and from the terminal.

The control unit may process the content input through the input window in association with the graphic object. As an example, the content input through the input window is reflected in an application (or widget, terminal function) related to the graphic object. The reflection may be stored as content related to the application or may be treated as data associated with the application differently from the state prior to the input, such as being used to execute a function associated with the application (e.g., including content upon message transmission) .

If a control command indicating the completion of the user input is applied while the input window is being output, the input window disappears and the input content may be reflected in the application.

As an example, the control unit of the terminal recognizes the input content, and converts the input content into information related to the input content in the graphic object, and displays the information. If the input content is a date or a symbol, the control unit automatically recognizes the date and / or symbol and records the date or symbol in an application related to the graphic object.

Hereinafter, a control command such as touch input and / or gesture through the pen unit applied to the display unit 151 is sensed, and when a control command of a specific pattern is applied to the graphic object, An apparatus and method for processing a graphic object (for example, copying a graphic object, cutting a graphic object, pasting a graphic object, enlarging a graphic object, scaling a graphic object, controlling brightness of a graphic object, Explain.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the display unit 151 displays graphic objects such as images (photographs) and characters (S11).

The sensing unit senses a touch input of a specific pattern applied to the graphic object in the screen information (S12). The sensing unit may be a touch sensor, and may be combined with the display unit to form a touch screen. As another example, the sensing unit may be another type of sensor capable of sensing a touch applied to the display unit, such as an ultrasonic sensor, an acceleration sensor, and a magnetic field sensor. The specific pattern can be set by the user. As an example of this, the specific pattern may be set in a symbol form such as a pattern for drawing a circle, a triangle, a rectangle, a pattern for checkmarking, a pattern for X-marking, and the like. As another example, the specific pattern may be a pattern for writing text. For example, writing an alphabet such as "I" on a graphic object can be a specific pattern.

As another example, the specific pattern may be set differently according to each control command. For example, the specific pattern may be a pattern drawn on a plane on which the screen information is output by the display unit 151 (or on an outer surface of a window covering the display element). In addition, the pattern for termination or execution may be a tab for tapping the display unit 151. [

When the touch input of the specific pattern is applied to the graphic object, the controller 180 processes the graphic object to apply the image effect to the graphic object according to the touch input of the specific pattern (S13) The graphic object is displayed (S14).

4A-4C illustrate a method of processing a graphic object according to an embodiment of the present invention.

4A to 4C, the controller 180 may copy the graphic object if a short touch or long touch is applied to the graphic object, or select "All " to select the graphic object 4-1 Menu "is touched by the pen unit and the" copy "menu is touched by the pen unit, the graphic object 4-1 may be copied.

When a short touch or a long touch (or a double touch) is applied after a gesture (or a touch input) for drawing a circle is applied to the graphic object 4-1, the control unit 180 copies or cuts only the graphic object You may.

When the "crop" menu is touched by the pen unit after the "entire selection menu" for selecting the graphic object 4-1 is touched by the pen unit, the control unit 180 controls the graphic object 4-1 The graphic object 4-1 may be copied or cut according to a gesture (or touch input) applied to the graphic object 4-1.

The control unit 180 may be configured to perform a touch input (e.g., a long touch or a double touch) of a specific pattern or a gesture of the pen unit (e.g., a shake of the pen unit, (Such as a touch move from bottom to top)) is applied (sensed), the copied or cut graphic object is displayed on the widget or background screen (pasted graphic object). The pen unit may further include an acceleration sensor, a gravity sensor, and the like in order to detect movement (e.g., tilt, shake, rotation, etc.) of the pen unit and output the sensed movement to the control unit 180 .

The control unit 180 may detect movement of the pen unit through a gesture detection method using the camera 121. [

In addition, whether the graphic object is processed or not can be determined according to the point where the pen unit touches. As another example, different functions may be performed depending on the point at which the touch is applied.

When the control unit 180 receives the control signal from the fan unit, the control unit 180 may process the graphic object based on the control signal. For example, the fan unit may further include a button 4-1. When the button 4-2 is pushed by the user, a control signal for processing the graphic object is generated And outputs the generated control signal to the control unit 180. The fan unit may include a communication unit for forming the wired or wireless local area network with the button 4-2 and the mobile terminal 100. [

If the gesture of the specific pattern is applied to the widget or the background screen (for example, shaking of the pen unit, touch movement of the pet unit from top to bottom or from bottom to top, etc.) Or to display the effect of sketching the cropped graphic object. For example, when the pet unit is continuously dragged from top to bottom or from bottom to top on the widget or background screen, the control unit 180 may convert the copied or cut graphic object into a sketch effect (Sketch) image effects.

When the pet unit is continuously dragged from top to bottom or from bottom to top on the widget or background screen, the controller 180 scans the copied or cut graphic object along with the dragged point (for example, , An image effect that appears when a lottery ticket is scratched with a coin).

The projecting portion, which is the touch portion of the fan unit, may be fixed, but may be moved. For example, the projecting portion, which is a touch portion of the fan unit, is protruded by a spring, and may be introduced into the fan unit by a pressing force of the user. The fan unit may further include a distance sensing unit for sensing a movement distance of the protrusion. The control unit 180 may process the graphic object based on the moving distance of the protrusion.

5A-5C illustrate another method for processing a graphic object according to an embodiment of the present invention.

5A to 5C, the controller 180 cuts or copies the graphic object according to a touch input or a gesture of a specific pattern of the pen unit, and then recognizes the touch intensity (touch intensity) of the pen unit And processes the graphic object based on the touch intensity. The display unit 151 may be a static pressure type touch system that operates at the intensity of the touch pressure, and the controller 180 recognizes the touch intensity (touch intensity) of the pen unit. For example, the control unit 180 recognizes the touch intensity (touch intensity) of the pen unit and displays the copied or cut graphic object on the widget or the background screen based on the recognized touch intensity (Touching strength) of the pen unit is lower than a reference value when the touch strength of the pen unit is less than a reference value, The brightness of the graphic object is adjusted to be higher (darker) than the reference value. That is, the controller 180 displays the sketch effect (sketch effect) or the sketch effect (sketch effect) in accordance with the strength of the user pressing the pen unit.

The control unit 180 controls the gesture of the specific pattern (for example, the pet unit is moved from the top to the bottom or from bottom to top) with respect to the widget or the background screen, and when the touch intensity of the pen unit is detected, Display graphics objects as if they were sketchy (sketch effects) or show them sketchily (sketch effects).

When the touch input or gesture of the specific pattern of the pet unit is detected on the specific screen after the graphic object such as a character is copied by the touch input of the pen unit, the controller 180 controls the size of the copied character, (Touch intensity) of the touch panel. For example, when the touch strength of the pen unit is less than a reference value, the controller 180 displays the size of the character smaller than a reference value. If the touch strength of the pen unit is greater than a reference value, The size of the character may be displayed larger than the reference value.

When the touch input or gesture of the specific pattern of the pet unit is detected on the specific screen after the graphic object such as a character is copied by the touch input of the pen unit, the controller 180 controls the inclination of the copied character, It may be displayed differently depending on the slope of the display. For example, if the inclination of the pen unit is 30 degrees, the control unit 180 displays the character at an angle of 30 degrees.

When the touch input or gesture of the specific pattern of the pet unit is detected on the specific screen after the graphic object such as a character is copied by the touch input of the pen unit, the controller 180 displays the copied character on a specific screen And if the rotation of the pet unit is sensed, the displayed character may be rotated.

When the touch input or gesture of the specific pattern of the pet unit is detected on the specific screen after the graphic object such as a character is copied by the touch input of the pen unit, the controller 180 displays the copied character on a specific screen And when the gesture of the pen unit (e.g., long touch) is sensed, the color of the displayed character may be changed.

6A-6E illustrate another method of processing a graphic object according to an embodiment of the present invention.

6A and 6B, the controller 180 may cut or copy the graphic object according to a touch input of a specific pattern of the pen unit or a gesture of the pen unit, If an area is drawn on the background screen (if an area is specified) according to an input or a gesture, the cut or copied graphic object can be displayed in the drawn area. The control unit 180 may display the cropped or copied graphic object in the original area as it is in the drawn area or may change the size of the cropped or copied graphic object to the size of the drawn area The size may be reduced or enlarged to be displayed in the drawn area.

The control unit 180 may display the cut or copied graphic object in the drawn area based on the button of the pen unit, the moving distance of the protrusion of the pen unit, the gesture of the pen unit, and the like.

6C-6E, in the state where the drawn area is smaller than the size of the cut or copied graphic object, the cut or copied graphic object is displayed in the original size as it is in the drawn area, The cropped or copied graphic objects can not all be displayed. Accordingly, the controller 180 detects the drag operation of the pen unit in the drawn area, and moves the graphic object displayed in the drawn area. For example, when the control unit 180 detects a drag operation of the pen unit from right to left in the drawn area, the control unit 180 moves the graphic object displayed in the drawn area to the left. The controller 180 moves the graphic object displayed in the drawn area upward when it detects the drag operation of the pen unit from the bottom up in the drawn area.

7A-7B are further illustrations of a method for processing graphical objects in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
